Unfortunately, this tomb was built on the side of the pond.
There was even a waterfall crashing on top of it.
In this way, the stones that had been piled up together could be dispersed and the cave hidden by the rocks could be revealed once again. This gave them a chance to find out. Otherwise, who could have imagined that at the very bottom of the waterfall, there was a Taoist monk who had once fought a giant cave here?
Qi Sanpang was a burly man, so he could not enter the cave full of rocks. Therefore, the two of them thought for a while, and then they kicked the rocks in front of the cave into the water.
When the whole hole was completely exposed, the book turned on the waterproof flashlight and shot it inside. After being washed by the waterfall and the rain for many years, it gradually turned into a water-soluble cave. When the flashlight shone inside, Fang Zhisu even saw quite a few stalactites.
Of course, this was not the main point.
Using a flashlight, Fang Zhoushu shone his light back and forth inside the cave. Finally, on a flight of stairs to the left of the cave, he saw a few ferocious looking statues.
From the looks of the statues and the things they held in their hands, it was not hard to guess that the few statues on the left side of the stairs were probably made using the appearance of the 'four great heavenly kings'. The statue which he had seen with his flashlight before he entered the cave should be the head of the four great heavenly kings, the 'Overbearing Sky King' of the North.
"Qi Sandao, why do you think the tomb lord placed the statues of the 'Four Heavenly Kings' here?"
This was the first time Fang Zishu saw a statue of the four great heavenly kings in a tomb, so he could not help but feel curious, wanting to ask if Qi Sanpang knew the reason.
Qi Sanbiao laughed and teased, "Brother Fang, you don't even know what it means to place the 'Four Heavenly Kings' in the tomb?"
Seeing Fang Zishu shake his head, Qi Sanpang immediately started to explain.
Actually, ever since Yin Shang died, all the nobles liked to place some of their divine spirits in their tombs to protect their souls from outsiders.
It extended all the way to the time of the Wei, Jin, and the Southern and Northern Dynasties. Those famous families in China used the tombstone as a substitute for the gods in order to suppress the evil spirits.
Enjoying eternal peace after death.
However, in the eyes of some nomadic tribes in the north, the appearance of the tombstone was just too ferocious. Not only would placing it in the mausoleum not cause the tomb owner's soul to live forever, it would also threaten the spirit of the tomb. Amongst them, the Four Heavenly King Statues were the most popular.
Fang Zishu nodded. The four Heavenly Kings were the representatives of the Law Family, and this could be seen from the magical equipment in their hands.
Not only that, the four Heavenly Kings were also known as the 'Four Great Sky Kings' and 'Four Great Sky Kings'.
For example, the King of Heaven, who was the closest to the book, had given his name to all the living beings in the world to protect Ju Lu Prefecture.
The King of Heaven was clad in green, clad in the Seven Treasures Solemn Armor, and hung with a long blade at his waist.
He wielded a treasured umbrella in his right hand and a mouse in his left, symbolizing the Heavenly King in the north. He was a person who could guide all living creatures towards the good while using his power to vanquish demons.
The waterproof flashlight of the prescription book went past the statues of the four great heavenly kings and shone into the depths of the cave. Unfortunately, the depths of the cave was too dark, and the moment the waterproof light of the prescription book shone into the distance, the circle of light would disperse, making it impossible to clearly see what was in the depths.
"Qi Sanpang, what do you think about the depth of the water in the cave?"
Fang Zishu whispered as he looked at the flowing water in the cave.
Logically speaking, this cave should be quite far away from the cold pond outside. There were even giant rocks blocking the way in the middle, so the cold pond's flow shouldn't be able to penetrate this place.
From this, it could be seen that the water in these caves must have been accumulated by the rain over the years after the senior that blew up the cave with gunpowder left. From Fang Zhisu's point of view, the water in these caves shouldn't have been too deep.
"Alright, I'll give it a try!"
Qi Sanbiao nodded and jumped into the cave.
Plop!
Hearing the loud sound of water, Fang Zishu's heart tightened, and he could not help but ask: "Qi Sanpang, are you alright? So much noise? "
Qi Sanpang rolled his eyes and cursed, "F * ck, I thought the water in this cave wasn't deep, but I didn't think it would reach laozi's waist."
Although Fang Zishu did not ask about Qi Sanpang's height, he could tell that he was at least 1.8 meters tall. But now, the accumulated water in the cave was at his waist, which was far beyond his expectations. Fang Zishu pulled him up while asking, "Did you step on him to the end? Is the bottom stone or sand? "
"What the f * ck? I was lucky just now and jumped on a rock. If I really landed on the ground, my head would have been covered."
Qi Sanpang wiped his face and said, "I estimate that the water in this cave is at least two meters deep. Moreover, this place must have been raining a lot, which is why the water accumulated here is so deep. Not only that, I think the cold water outside the cave is also seeping in from time to time.
Fang Zishu also agreed with Qi Sanpang. Originally, he had planned to let him test the depth of the water in the cave.
If the water wasn't too deep, he would call Big Zheng and the others into the cave. Together, they would drip into the cave to see what the depths of the cave looked like.
However, with how deep the water in the cave was, it was impossible for him to wade through it. Furthermore, the water level between the cave and the pond outside couldn't be too low, so he couldn't use explosives to break the rock and drain the water.
Right now, the only way out was to build a bamboo raft that could accommodate many people and place it at the entrance of the cave. Only then would they be able to ride the bamboo raft and head towards the depths of the cave.
"Brother Fang, the water in the cave is so deep, should we return it?"
Qi Sanbiao looked at the flowing river with a bitter expression.
He was originally a famous general of Huai Yang's generation. Now that he was faced with the obstruction of the river, his ability was completely useless. This feeling of having strength and having nowhere to go made him feel especially aggrieved.
"If we go in, we will definitely go in. If we all go in, how can we retreat?" "Even if the water in this cave is very deep, we can still build a raft and enter it."
Then, he looked at the pitch-black cave and sighed, "But before we build the raft, the two of us still have to go deeper into the cave and explore. Only after we thoroughly understand the situation in the cave will we be able to bring Professor Xu and the others to leave …"
